To Do More Do These 7 Stuffs Really Well
Last week I delivered the opening keynote at The Inspire Summit in Beirut Lebanon. I was humbled to be asked and had one goal: lead the delegates to action.
Many keynotes inspire, motivate and entertain. They are memorable for these reasons but they may not lead to actions. I wanted to leave a legacy with the delegates to have them achieve more.
I shared “7 Stuffs You Can Do To Do More!” Let me explain why I used the word stuff:
- It’s not a terribly technical word but encompasses so much.
- It’s not a really inspiring word yet we use it every day.
- And it’s not a word that the world’s best orators would ever use and yet it spoke directly to the people in the room!
I wore jeans and a t-shirt (with RAW on it) so the group saw me as no-one special. I wanted them to see me as just another human – an authentic and real person who had been through challenges similar to them and someone who continues to work on these stuffs to get better.
I asked everyone to perform a self-audit on how consistent they were on doing each of the 7 stuffs. As you read this blog, you could do the same – rate yourself out of 10 on your consistency on these stuffs.
Here they are for you:
- Get your shit together about your mornings and how you start your day!
- Avoid distractions to have an impactful presence.
- Make every meeting outcome based.
- Take control of your own personal & professional development.
- Give back to your community with mind, muscle or money.
- Do the full goal setting process in all aspects of your life.
- Ensure you have discipline to persist. You may need to try, try again and even try again to transform your ideas into actions.
I suggested to them that their ideas will spark change. Actions will make change.
Ideas don’t change the world. Actions change the world.
I finished with “Use this stuff and make a difference in your family, in your team, with your customers and in the world.”
I received amazing feedback, including this from a well-respected industry colleague, Jonathon Ross “Get stuffs JT.”
A massive thank you to Patrick & the team from Inspire Fitness Academy for inviting me to speak and assist the Lebanese fitness industry to #thinkanddodifferent. In addition to the keynote, I presented 5 sessions and sat on a panel to discuss the future for the fitness industry in Lebanon. #InspireSummit2019.
